PM Modi criticised the current Hemant Soren-led Jharkhand government, accusing it of hindering the state's development and blamed the Congress-JMM-RJD alliance for rampant corruption and mismanagement

Hazaribagh (Jharkhand), Oct 2: Prime Minister Narendra Modi Wednesday asked the people of Jharkhand to bring the BJP to power in the state to protect their "roti, beti, and maati" (livelihood, daughters, and land).

Addressing the Parivartan Maharally in Hazaribagh, he termed the BJP's Parivartan Yatra not as a mere political campaign, but as a movement to safeguard the state's future, and promised security for Jharkhand's daughters, land, and livelihoods under a BJP-led government.

“The BJP guarantees that the safety of these three will be ensured if the government is formed here. A new dawn will descend in Jharkhand with today's Parivartan Sabha," he said.

PM Modi criticised the current Hemant Soren-led Jharkhand government, accusing it of hindering the state's development.

He blamed the Congress-JMM-RJD alliance for rampant corruption and mismanagement, claiming it has betrayed the very people who voted for them in the name of protecting the state's natural resources.

“Everyone here knows that the ruling coalition has allowed unchecked loot of water, forest and land. Jharkhand will progress only when this government is thrown out of power. BJP's Parivartan Yatra is not only a political movement, but a Sankalp Yatra to fulfil the dreams of the people,” he said, accusing the Soren government of siphoning off funds intended for tribal welfare programmes.

PM Modi also attacked Jharkhand's Abua Awas Yojana and Maiya Samman Yojana, labelling them corrupt schemes designed to deceive the public ahead of elections. “The people of Jharkhand have to be careful of those who sell lies,” he said.

Taking aim at the Congress, PM Modi accused the party of neglecting tribal communities while favouring a single family for decades.

“Congress did not give importance to the tribal society which made big contributions in the freedom struggle. All the schemes were brought in the name of the members of a single family. Such family-oriented thinking has caused immense harm to the country. Today I am proud that our government has given full respect to the tribal heroes. We all lovingly call Lord Birsa Munda Dharti Aaba. Today, in his name, our government has started 'Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan'," he said.

PM Modi also raised concerns about the state government's failure to deliver on promises, such as providing jobs and allowances for youth and women. He alleged that paper leak scandals have severely impacted the state's youth, with exam papers being sold under the protection of the government, enriching a select few while ruining countless young lives.

He urged the people to reject the current government and embrace the BJP's vision for a prosperous, corruption-free future.

Irani Cup 2024: Sarfaraz Double Ton Helps Mumbai To Massive 536/9 vs RoI On Day 2

by Shambhu Datta Mishra

Lucknow, Oct 2: A brilliant unbeaten double century by Sarfaraz Khan, the first by a Mumbai batter in the tournament, and half century by middle-order batter Tanush Kotian (64) helped Ranji Trophy winner Mumbai reach a mammoth 536/9 against Rest of India on Day 2 of the Irani Cup match here Wednesday.

Resuming on the overnight score of 237/4, Mumbai capitalized on Sarfaraz's sensational 221 not out off 276 balls, studded with 25 boundaries and four sixes to put up a gigantic score as they hoped to bat RoI out of the match. Sarfaraz became the first Mumbai batter to score a double hundred in the Irani Cup.

Sarfaraz, who was released from the Indian senior national team a day before the Irani Cup, started the day with skipper Ajinkya Rahane, who was batting at 86 at stumps on the first day.

But the experienced Rahane did not last long and was out three runs short of the three-figure mark, adding just 11 runs to his overnight score. Rahane, who had rescued Mumbai from a precarious 37/3, helped Mumbai past the 250-run mark as he and Sarfaraz added 131 runs for the fifth wicket.

Shams Mulani (5) did not spend much time at the crease but Sarfaraz, who mixed patience, exuberance and aggression in equal measures, found a willing partner in Kotian as they raised 183 runs for the sixth wicket partnership that helped the team past the 450-run mark. Kotian completed his half-century in 103 balls.

Sarfaraz, who was batting on 54 at the end of the first day, reached the 100-run milestone in 149 balls (4 x 14), completed 150 runs off 203 balls and reached his double century off 253 balls, slamming 23 boundaries and three sixes.

After Kotian was out bowled by Prasidh Krishna for 64 off 124 balls, Mumbai lost Mohit Avasthi for a first-ball duck, trapped lbw by Krishna, Sarfaraz and Shardul Thakur (36) added 63 runs to the score before the latter got out with the score 536/9.

At stumps, Mohammad Juned Khan (batting on 0) was keeping Sarfaraz company.

For the Rest of India, Mukesh Kumar was the most successful bowler with 4-109 runs in 28 overs. Yash Dayal (2-89) and Prasidh Krishna (2-102) claimed a brace apiece.

Brief scores:

Mumbai 536/9 in 138 overs (Sarfaraz Khan 221 not out, Ajinkya Rahane 97, Tanush Kotian 64, Shreyas Iyer 57; Mukesh Kumar 4-109, Yash Dayal 2-89, Prasidh Krishna 2-102) v Rest of India.

Govinda Bullet Incident: Actor Shifted To General Ward From ICU, Recuperating Well

by Shambhu Datta Mishra

Mumbai, Oct 2: Bollywood actor Govinda, who earlier suffered a bullet injury to his leg, has been shifted to the general ward from the ICU and is said to be making a speedy recovery.

His manager Shashi Sinha shared that the police have taken the statement of the actor’s daughter Tina. However, the actor’s statement is yet to be taken. The cops will record the actor's statement once he feels better.

Last evening, the Mumbai Police reached the hospital and spoke to Govinda about the incident. However, an official statement from him is yet to be taken.

The actor misfired his licensed gun while he was cleaning the closet, and accidentally shot himself in the foot. A part of the gun's lock was said to be broken which led to the misfiring.

His manager also shared that the actor will most likely be discharged from the hospital Thursday.

Earlier Wednesday, Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon paid a visit to Govinda at a hospital in the Juhu area of Mumbai. Raveena didn’t speak to the media, and straightaway walked inside the hospital building.

The actor’s wife Sunita Ahuja had also given an update earlier on his health. The actor’s wife spoke to the media outside the hospital and said that Govinda is recuperating well.

She told the media stationed outside the hospital in the Juhu area of Mumbai, “I think tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, he will get discharged. With everyone's blessings, with the blessings of all the fans, he has completely recovered. We are praying for him everywhere”.

She further mentioned, “He has a lot of fans everywhere. We are praying for him everywhere, in the temple, in the dargah. With everyone's blessings, he is completely fine. I would like to say to the fans, don't panic. He is completely fine. After a few months, he will start dancing again. Thank you so much”.
